Mumbai, Nov 8: Five children suffered eye injuries related with Diwali celebrations were admitted in JJ Hospital in Byculla.
An 11-year old boy is likely to lose his vision in one eye while the others show possibilities of recovery, the doctors at the hospital reported. The 11-year-old was checking on a firecracker that he had lit when it burst in his face.
JJ Hospital’s head of ophthalmology Dr Ragini Parikh said the children had sustained eye injuries while playing with firecrackers. “Most of them need medical management. We operated on the 11-year-old boy and hope to save his vision. It is early to predict the outcome,” she said.
